PSU Question

[Matty87]

Hi all great to finally join in on the forums, now my question is I recently got a pre-built PC and added my own parts as below

i5 4690 3.5GHz - 8GB Ram - 1TB WD Caviar Green - DVD burner

it just has the CPU stock fan and stock case fan for now as I only really use it as a HTPC and for Adobe products but I decided a mid range GPU would help the system and let me do some gaming in the future and I saw the
*Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Boost OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Card*
on overclockers for £130 after considering the GTX 750 Ti , my question is I can tell the psu that came with the PC is a generic 500w but I have the Corsair HX450w and was thinking if I replaced the generic one with this would it be enough to power the components including new GPU it seems the Corsair has the required 2 6 pin connectors and 33 amps on the +12V if this is what you should be looking at.

Thanks for all suggestions.

Thanks for the reply the case is like the psu just a generic one although it does have a side mesh where I could probably add an extra fan, I am not a big gamer but figured if I was going to get a card it was better maybe better to pay the little extra and get the 270X over the GTX 750 Ti chances are the new Resident Evil is a game I will play but not many more.

Thanks for all the help I opened the case to get a better look and I should have checked earlier it seems it came with just the Intel Delta CPU cooler and no fans so I am probably going to need to add some. what would be the best setup I have the H81M-PLUS motherboard so need to check how many fans I can add.
